If I recall, .zpic contains actual depth values (in SI units) as its data at
each pixel, not normalized (0->1) or something similar in a "known" range.
Maybe it's just a problem of the way he's interpreting the data...so it's not
what he is expecting? It can be hard to find the right parameters to control a
depth-fade (for example) if you don't know what the closest and farthest values
are (unless you know the values you want in scene units).
Just a thought.

No, it's not AA. He is trying to use it and
apparently there's not enought depth to have control
over small sections of the zpics. I guess he's using
it to work on a small section of the total range and
is getting some banding or other artifacts.
I wish I could be more specific.
